Chapter 10 - To Be Protected And Not Abused

"Reject me? I admit that she is an exquisite-looking lady, but why on earth would she reject me even if I had asked her out? And are you implying that I was always heartless towards all of you? She is the one who had the guts to piss me off since she knew that I wouldn't have the heart to reject her because of my grandpa. So she should be blamed for the way I treat her. She is just so wild and hot tempered for my liking," Li Yifeng said as his anger flared up again when he remembered how the girl treated him on their first official meeting.

"I am sure she wouldn't have behaved like that if you had treated her better," the words escaped from Yuan Quan's mouth again before he realized the nonsense he had just uttered. He slapped his mouth hard to show his boss that he didn't mean it. ​​

"This mouth of mine, you will surely be the death of me one day," Yuan Quan muttered inaudibly as he slapped his mouth again.

"I can see that you have a thing for that wild girl. Is that why you always have the guts to stand up for her? If you like her so much, I am sure that you won't mind doing all the work she left behind right? Anyways why ask you when you don't have any other choice but to be her sacrificial lamb. You see those documents on that table over there, I want you to read and summarize every single one of them. Send me a copy of the summarized version before you leave the office. I don't care whether you spend the night here, just make sure you send me those files before I resume work tomorrow. I am sure that the wild girl will fall in love with you when she learns about the punishment you had to undertake because of her," Li Yifeng said expressionlessly.

He stood up and grabbed his suit as he made his way to the door. Yuan Quan was dumbstruck when he heard his boss' punishment. He knew that he had just doomed for himself.

"Boss I am sorry. I will never take Miss Yang's side ever again so please lessen my punishment a bit. You can punish me in another way but not by taking my precious sleep away from me. Boss, please pardon me," Yuan Quan managed to plead before his boss could exit his office.

"You are helping your crush who looked so miserable, so you don't have to make it sound as if I am firing you. This will serve as a detriment to you next time not to decide on anything without my orders," Li Yifeng said cruelly before he strolled out of the office smiling satisfactorily. Yuan Quan resigned himself to fate and immediately got to work after his boss left. He was certain that he would have to spend the whole night at the office working as a result of the workload his boss had given him.

Few minutes later, Yang Zi's car was seen parked somewhere beside a glass building before she stepped out of the car.

"I have arrived but I can't spot her anywhere. What exactly do you think that spoiled brat is up to that warranted her to enter the public restroom? That is so unbefitting for a rich lady like her," Yang Zi, who was now wearing ripped black jeans and a white cropped top, asked Shiyi through the wireless earbuds, which were plunged into her ears. Her current makeup made her look like the badass girl that she was.

"Don't tell me you haven't guessed why she did that? Why do you think she went into a boutique and afterwards came out with two shopping bags? Did you expect her to wear that lame dress of hers to the club? I am sure that she is planning to change her clothes and looks too," Shiyi said confidently.

"Yeah, you are right. I will just have to wait for her to come out. I will hang up now but I will call you la..."

"Hold on, I have prepared a little script for you, so show her how great of an actress you are. Remember don't approach her without my permission and don't disconnect the line, Ok?" Shiyi quickly interrupted her before she could disconnect the call.

Yang Zi, who waited for over fifteen minutes, ran out of patience when the lady she was waiting for did not come out of the restroom on time. She was on the brink of barging into the restroom had Shiyi not advised not to do so. She waited for another three minutes before Shiyi, who was watching everything that was going in a nearby CCTV camera he had successfully hacked into, spotted the lady coming out of the restroom with a completely new look. He would have even mistaken her for someone else if not for his sharp eyes.

"Here she comes," Shiyi exclaimed relievely. Yang Zi, who was already tired from standing, immediately turned around to take a look at the lady who was now dressed, ready to go to a club.

"I feel like beating some senses into her for wasting my time but I must acknowledge, she really looks good dressed like this. I wonder what her parents would think if they saw their daughter living this double life," Yang Zi said before she started tailing the girl who was so oblivious of the fact that someone was watching her every move. They walked for about sixteen minutes before they passed through a dimly lit street.

"Are you ready girl? Let's see the caring you in action," Shiyi said excitedly. Yang Zi did not understand what he meant until she saw some group of men who seemed like they were waiting for the lady to pass through that street. At first Jingxian did not notice that they were after her but when she did, she took to her heels. Unfortunately for her with the high heels she was wearing, she could not run far so the guys caught up with her before she could run into the next street which was fully lit.

"Why the rush pretty girl? We don't mean any harm. We just want you to accompany us for the night. Don't worry, my guys and I will take very good care of you as long as you remain good," one who looked like the leader of the group said as he caressed her pretty face with his rough hand.

"Get you filthy hands off me you scum. How dare you lay your hands on me? If you knew who my brother is, you wouldn't dare lay a finger on me," Jingxian said angrily as she violently refused his touch, but there was not much she could do since the scary looking guy was more powerful than her.

"Don't worry. We don't give a damn about who you are or who the hell your so called brother is. All we want is you. You are just the type of lady we fancy, tall, pretty and soft body. You smell rich from head to toe. You are the type which is hard to come by that is why we won't let this opportunity pass us by just like that. You won't get hurt if you are a good girl. Ok," The guy standing beside the leader of the group said as he stared at her lecherously.

"Was this your so-called great idea? Getting the poor lady harassed just so I could save her and gain myself some credits?" Yang Zi asked angrily when she saw the ugly scene that was happening.

"Of course not. Although I despise all the Zhous, I would never do such a thing to anyone, trust me. I only hacked into the streetlights so that you would use that opportunity to accompany her through the dark streets while getting to make friends with her in the process. This group of bastards were never arranged by me," Shiyi quickly vindicated himself. Yang Zi who was watching the scene from afar off took long angry strodes towards them.

"In your dreams. Do you think that I will quietly follow you guys without putting up a fight? I am not some pushover. If you are feeling too horny and you are looking for a girl to play with, you will never get what you want with me, bastards, " Jingxian said angrily as she spit on the leader's face. Out of annoyance the leader raised his hand to slap her but he was interrupted by a lady's cold voice

"What the hell do you think you guys are doing? Were you not taught that ladies are supposed to be protected and not abused?" Yang Zi asked coldly as she walked towards them with a domineering aura. The fiery in her eyes could melt ice.
